This year's Irish march will take place on the day AFTER St. Patrick's. See it tomorrow, Sunday the 18th. Don't miss the biggest ever celebration of all things Irish in New Bern; a total of 70 units and 3 hours of pure fun.
Time: 2-6pm
Route: George St. (The Tryon Palace site) to Broad St. to Middle St. and ending on S. Front Street.
MEMORIAL!
If you need another event for Sunday, in a much more sober mein, there will be a memorial service at Union Point Park for fallen American soldiers in the Middle East. Totally apolitical, honoring those who serve and give their lives for their country, this is New Bern's quiet way to mark the 4th Anniversary of the Iraq War. Color guards, music and a finish with the traditional 21 gun salute all included. Beginning at 4 pm, all the names will be read aloud during which all observers remain silent; a candle will be lit for each name. As darkness falls on the park this should be a wonderful sight and memorial for lost sons, daughters, daddys, mommys and friends who lit up our lives for too short a time.
